Farmington Fright Fest
Haunted attraction · Farmington · Maine
Western Maine's biggest Halloween event, staged at the Farmington Fairgrounds with three separate haunts: a sea-hag-haunted fishing wharf, a claustrophobic clown maze, and a sinister estate called Blackwater Hall. Food trucks and two dozen vendors set up around the haunts, and the last night ends in a costume contest.
